Welcome to my little music home in the cloud.
I update this space often, and I’m opening it with something I’m really proud of- a series of four live-session videos.
Being a DIY artist means doing everything myself. Writing and creating is the easy part; making it all happen is the real challenge. This live session sat on me for over a year- not because I didn’t want to do it, but because turning it into reality was a whole production. Musicians, location, outfits, crew, lights, sound… it was a lot.
But that’s exactly why this release feels so special.
It’s fully live, no tricks, just the real atmosphere of my show - the closest thing to being there with us.
Hope you take a moment to watch and sink into the vibe.
Listen to my Cover of Björk’s “Jóga”
My cover of Björk’s iconic Jóga was born out of chaos, a moment where the world around me felt like it was crumbling. I turned to this song as a way to stay human, and rebuilt it using sounds that speak to my roots: oud, darbuka, and synths weaving through a rich, emotional landscape.
It’s an act of care, of resistance, and of love.

Also subtly ear-catching is Zohara, an incredibly exciting artist and producer.
Her piece ‘Intro’ has something of mallwave about it
but broadens its scope in
drawing on Middle Eastern influences
and the artist’s jazz

Pitting heritage against modernity, 'Sing A Song' is the work of a
psychedelic soul coming into her own.— Clash Music[5]
Creating electronic music that fuses the fervour of middle-eastern music with the fluidity of modern production is an immense task. But for performer and producer ZOHARA, it is her most effortless edge.
